Movement rediscovered
New milestone set with “RUTHMANNCOCKPIT”
At the Platformers‘ Days trade
show, we unveiled our new,
ultra-modern control panel,
known as the “COCKPIT”. The
full-colour graphic display,
clearly arranged keys, and
functional joysticks set new
standards in operational
convenience.
Menu buttons
Customer benefits are a
number one priority for us at
RUTHMANN. Our company
has been developing and
programming our own
sophisticated control technology
for decades. Continuously
optimized STEIGER ® controls
are safe, efficient, easy to
operate, and backed by round
the clock, 24/7, after-sales
service. Our underlying
principles, high-quality
standards and expertise have
also been incorporated in our
new “COCKPIT” control panel.
The ultra-modern “COCKPIT”
features a clear design and an
intuitive user interface. The keys
are sturdy so that everything in
the Cockpit can easily be
handled with work gloves.
In the upper area, the cockpit
features a comprehensive
information area with a
full-colour graphic display.
Hot keys
Here, there is space for up to
7 hot keys that control specific
STEIGER ® functions. Boom
positions, for example, can be
saved and floodlights on the
basket (optional) can be
switched on and off. There are
also 10 additional menu buttons
in the upper display area that
enable operators to retrieve
important vehicle information,
terrain conditions, boom
positions, and operating
instructions. The menu buttons
are also used to retrieve
important operational data from
the STEIGER ® ’s information and
diagnostic system.
Depending on the model, the
Cockpit is equipped with/
without a graphic display. Two
pre-installed (230 V and 24 V)
sockets are standard equipment.
The many additional features
optionally available can also
be retrofitted.
Three different display modes
adjust brightness to ensure
good readability in all lighting
conditions – during the day,
at night or in bright sunlight.
Every key is backlit and has a
status LED that indicates the
switching status.
